Esther Kovacs, MSTCM, BSN, utilizes Ayurvedic Medicine, Ayurvedic Yoga & Fitness, and Energy Medicine to guide individuals to a balanced state of health. Schedule appointments for consultations or participate in the Ayurveda Mind-Body Health Program.
Ayurvedic Medicine
Ayurvedic Medicine is the sister science of yoga and the oldest holistic medical system still in existence today. Through assessing your individual Ayurvedic mind-body type and tracking the root cause of imbalances, recommendations around lifestyle, Ayurvedic therapies, supplements, yoga, and fitness can then be made. This customized approach integrates the mind, body, and spirit in creating balance and vitality. Initial consultations last an hour and a half and include assessment of your Ayurvedic constitution, your health history and current imbalances, and the formation of a health plan. Follow-up consultations of 45-minute duration assess your progress and make changes to the health plan as necessary.
Schedule an appointment here.
The Ayurveda Mind-Body Program
The Ayurveda Mind-Body Program, developed by Esther Kovacs, is an eight-week individualized program specifically targeting optimizing digestion. The client meets with Esther individually for each session. The goal of each session is to walk away with a specific, effective tool for balancing and enhancing digestion. Sessions include stress-relief practices, grocery store excursions, and individualized yoga and fitness routines. Optimal digestion is considered the foundation of good health in Ayurveda. Without it, the body-mind follows a path of deterioration. By balancing digestion, quality of life can be significantly amplified and longevity promoted.
Schedule an appointment here.
Energy Medicine
Energy Medicine sessions can include either Reiki or Bengston Method work. During a session, the practitioner uses light touch to channel energy into the body, resulting in relaxation, stress relief, and healing. Reiki is a three thousand-year-old system originating from Japan while the Bengston Method is a more recent energy work modality with laboratory research demonstrating the successful cure of cancer in mice. Current research shows that energy medicine work may have similarities to electromagnetic therapy. Sessions are one hour in duration.

Red squirrel mate found for lonely Norfolk male
Hopes are high that a lonely red squirrel in Norfolk will find love after a potential mate was found in Cornwall for the long-term bachelor.
Kelling Heath Holiday Park, near Holt, has kept red squirrels since 1999 as part of a national conservation scheme has bred 20 kittens.
However, a shortage of females meant it took about a year to find a mate for their lovelorn 18-month-old male.
If the pair get on, staff hope they will breed in the spring.
'Fingers crossed'
The release of the non-native greys in the 19th Century is the main reason for the sharp decline in the number of red squirrels in the UK.
The grey is larger, more aggressive and better adapted to broad-leaved woodland. It is also is a carrier of the squirrel pox virus, which is deadly to the reds.
The Norfolk holiday park is now part of a breeding programme run by the East Anglian Red Squirrel Society.
The six-month-old female was part of a "swap deal" with Paradise Park in Cornwall, which specialises in breeding endangered wildlife.
In return for the potential mate, a male squirrel was taken to Cornwall.
David Martin, countryside manager at Kelling Heath, said: "We're very lucky to have found a mate for our squirrel at Kelling.
"Now we all have our fingers crossed that the pair get on so we can help to maintain and conserve the British Red Squirrel bloodline."
Any kittens the couple have are likely to be released into the wild at one of the UK's closely-monitored red squirrel habitats.

DEAR MAYO CLINIC: I'm 30 weeks pregnant with our first baby. After an ultrasound last week, our doctor informed us that our baby will likely have a cleft lip. How soon after he's born do you recommend surgery? Will I still be able to breastfeed him?
ANSWER: Learning that your baby may have a cleft lip or a cleft palate can be upsetting. But fortunately, in most cases these conditions can be successfully repaired with surgery. The specific timing of surgery depends on how extensive the cleft is, and that can't be definitely determined until your baby is born.
A cleft lip is an opening, or split, in a newborn's upper lip, and a cleft palate is an opening in the roof of the mouth. Cleft lip and cleft palate may occur separately, or they can happen together. These birth conditions result when the developing facial structures in a growing baby don't close completely during the first trimester of pregnancy.

Following the South Carolina women's soccer team requires more than a roster. An atlas comes in handy, too.
The goalkeeper hails from Ohio. The leading scorer calls Florida home. The co-captain playing midfield is a New Yorker. The four-time All-SEC defender stayed in state. The Rhoades sisters are from Delaware. In all, the 11 starters have converged in Columbia from nine states, with Georgia, Connecticut, Kentucky and Pennsylvania also in the mix.
Survey the 30-player roster, and 15 states - including California and Washington - and one other country, Canada, are represented. As the Gamecocks prepare to play Wake Forest tonight at Stone Stadium in the third round of the NCAA tournament, one thing is as clear as the voice on your GPS:
A national recruiting effort equals national prominence.
"We've always known that," said USC coach Shelley Smith, who scours the nation with her top recruiter, her husband and associate head coach Jamie Smith. "We try to find the best players we can. That's always been our goal."
Smith points out that most programs have to expand their recruiting horizons to be competitive at the national level. Identifying the top players isn't the tough part. Getting them to pick your school is, especially if they have good options closer to home.
"It's a real puzzle to find these top players who would be interested in coming to South Carolina," she said. "The ones who end up here either felt a connection or don't mind being away from home."
That these players from disparate places have compiled the best season in school history, with a 19-3-2 record and a spot in the final 16, says a lot for the way Smith put this team together. In her ninth season at USC, where she has compiled a 100-65-24 record, Smith feels comfortable selling the warm-weather South in addition to a school and a program she has grown to love.
The players feel the same way. Sophomore defender Ellen Fahey, a Fort Wright, Ky., native whose older sister played for Kentucky, liked the idea of coming farther South.
"I love this school, and not just the soccer," Fahey said. "This school is exactly what I wanted."
Fahey said the players don't pay attention to their regional differences.
"When we're joking around, we might," she said. "But now I feel like we're all from the same state. It seems like by being here, we're all the same person."
Senior midfielder Lindsay Small of Suffield, Conn., said their varied backgrounds only are noticed when they introduce themselves at soccer camps.
"The kids say, 'Wow, you're from far away,'" Small said. "That's kind of neat."
But she believes the off-field bonding activities Smith encourages allow players to get past any differences.
"By getting to know each other, it helps communication on the field," Small said. "You have to build that base off the field."
The accents may be different, and the hairstyles, too. But the goal is the same.
"It's crazy to think how we've come together and how close we are on and off the field," said junior forward Brooke Jacobs, a Chambersburg, Pa., native. "These are my best friends. You know everyone. You know who you can't yell at or what you need to yell to get them going."
Seven players are from Georgia, while five are from South Carolina, including a pair from Lexington High, senior starter Shannon Bigbie and sophomore midfielder Kira Campbell.
"We're always trying to get the best from this state," Smith said. "But you can't survive only on instate players."
Smith, a Vermont native who was the head coach at Rhode Island for four seasons before coming to Columbia, uses her Northeast connections to help attract players. Junior defender Brittiny Rhoades came from Wilmington, Del., and was followed by her younger sister Kortney, a sophomore midfielder who transferred from St. Joseph's in Philadelphia.
Kortney Rhoades said newcomers - no matter where they're from - fit right in.
"As much as we're from different places, we're all on the same team," she said. "We mesh together, and we all get along. It's cool we're able to do that. We're such a diverse group, but we're able to be the family we are."
Smith calls that attitude an essential element in the team's success this season.
"No matter where you are from in this country, you have to have learned how to play on a team. We put an emphasis on those who are going to fit in, be a good teammate and have the desires and goals to be a good team."

Two women save baby from hot car
BAKER CITY —Sydney Slobig found herself in the right place at the right time to offer comfort and aid again this summer.
On Monday night, Slobig and Karla Lowry responded to a 2-month-old baby's cries coming from a van parked at Albertsons grocery store in Baker City.
The baby was left alone in the van for about 20 minutes while family members, who are from Ontario and Mountain Home, Idaho, shopped inside the store, Baker City Police Chief Wyn Lohner said Wednesday.
Slobig and Lowry responded to the baby's cries about 7:30 p.m. Temperatures at the time were in the low 80s.
The baby was checked out and, other than a slightly elevated body temperature, was OK, Lohner said.
The parents have not been charged with a crime at this time, Lohner said.

New Quilled Paper Work from Yulia BrodskayaMay 04, 2015
View Gallery
Artist Yulia Bordskaya was born in Russia and is currently living in the UK. She has earned an international reputation for her innovative 'quilled' paper illustrations.
"I believe that one of the main reasons I enjoy the paper craft, is due to my love of the material: paper. Although I've always had a special fascination for paper, it has taken me a while to find my own way of working with it; and then it took a little longer to find out that the technique I have been using so intensively is called quilling - it involves the use of strips of paper that can be rolled, shaped, and glued to the background." —Yulia Bordskaya

What comes after a trillion?
In the waning days of the previous millennium, President Bill Clinton, a Democrat, became the first president to balance the budget since Republican Richard Nixon and his budget director, the late Bob Mayo of Bartlett, accomplished the feat in 1969.
Noting that inflation was at its lowest point in 30 years, unemployment was even lower, homeownership was at an all-time high and the nation was pretty much at peace, Clinton was pondering the best ways for our federal government to spend our surplus. Meanwhile, equally optimistic Republicans talked about cutting taxes to let the people keep the windfall.
A few hardy suburban souls who volunteered with The Concord Coalition -- a nonpartisan, grass-roots organization dedicated to educating the public about federal budget issues and their consequences -- suggested using that surplus to pay down the whopping $5 trillion debt.
Our federal legislators paid off a little of that debt before being seduced by spending increases and tax cuts. Throw in a couple of wars, a financial crisis and more tax cuts, and that worrisome national debt now tops $14 trillion and change.
For those people who were warning in the 1900s about the future risks if our politicians spent a generation kicking that can down the road, the future is now.
"I jumped on this thing in the early '90s, and it's the same message. It's just the numbers are higher," says John Szalinski, a 43-year-old Mundelein husband and father of three who appears to have an itch to become just as active in The Concord Coalition in the coming years as he was in his 20s.
"Now we're back with a vengeance," says Sara L. Imhof, a policy analyst and Midwest Regional Director for The Concord Coalition. A $14 trillion debt apparently has the potential to grab our attention in a way $5 trillion could not.
"People care about it, but they are feeling less and less able to do anything about it," Imhof says. Until now.
The current crisis creates an environment where "that message can get out there," says Szalinski. He says he and his wife, Kathy, get inspired to stop passing along our problems to future generations just by looking at their three children, ages 12, 10 and 7.
"Because I'm a parent, it scares the heck out of me," says Szalinski, who works for a medical device manufacturer. "We all have skin in this game."
Once Americans understand that our government can't continue to cut taxes and spend money, politicians may have the freedom to honestly address the issues, Szalinski figures. Spending cuts and tax increases, defense spending, and Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare must be discussed.
"We have this in our character," Szalinski says, recalling moments when Americans sacrificed during wars and the Depression to make the future better. "We can step up and make tough choices."
When she started the Institute for Truth in Accounting out of Northbrook a decade ago, Sheila Weinberg could see doomsday scenarios way off in the future, Now, she says, "we seem to be going down that road."
Instead of arguing about whether President Obama and the Democrats are to blame for that staggering debt or whether the problem started with Republican Ronald Reagan and trickled down to George W. Bush, we need to focus on us, and what we are going to do about it.
"The American people need to grow up," Weinberg scolds. "Right now they are getting more than they are paying for."
While he goes into far greater detail in the "U.S. Federal Budget" article he wrote for Wikipedia, Concord volunteer David Doney of Palatine says the quick solution is to have legislators with "the guts to explain what is really happening" instead of worrying about winning elections.
"People need to get educated," says Doney, 41, a CPA who is chief auditor for a global moving company based in Westmont. "At some point we've got to raise taxes and cut spending, and people aren't going to like it."

(This fits my daughter, who wears a size 6 toddler shoe.)
Cut a VERY LONG piece of yarn and join it in at one of the sides, where you'd like the strap to be attached.
Tie a loose knot.
Using BOTH strands, ch 10.
Join in at the toe. Then sc 5 back up the chain you just made. Next, turn and make a ch 6 toward the other side of the sole. Join in at the other side of the sole. Turn. Sc straight across the chain, from the right side of the sole to the left. Join. Weave in ends.
Join another long piece of yarn into the toe side of the strap. Ch 24. Turn. Sl st in 5th ch from end (making a loop for your buttonhole).
The crochet part is done! Well, obviously, you've got to make two of them, and do the opposite thing on the opposite shoe. As I said in my Crochet Gladiator Sandals post, you could use any sole pattern and apply this same technique to make flip flops. No problemo.
THIS IS WHERE THINGS WENT WRONG! Okay, so this idea would work if I had more time and energy, but I figured you'd get a kick out of seeing my total disasters sometimes. It's all part of crafting!
I bought some brown vinyl. I was looking for leather, but vinyl was all I could find. It's pleathery, at least, but I don't like that it has the white background. I knew that was going to be trouble next to a dark brown yarn. Oh well.
Trace the sole on the vinyl, leaving extra space.
Cut it out and sew it straight to the bottom of the shoe. I was doing this to make them outdoor friendly. So far, so good.
Trim the excess.
Not terrible.
Next up, I cut a 1-inch strip of vinyl to use as sort of a bias around the edge of the sole. IF I take these apart and redo it, I would make this a bit wider, maybe 1-1/2 inches, or really, just use real leather that doesn't have white underneath it because the horrific-ness of what happened would not be quite as obvious.
I didn't even pin. Should've known better.
HAAHAHAHAH!!!! What a mess!
So, I may seam rip the bias part and redo it. I was actually thinking of replacing the vinyl there with a funky fabric, just to give these shoes a little something different. I'll keep you posted. ;) I really was being practical in making these because Aspen just needs a plain 'ole brown shoe. I may add a flower as well. We'll see if I can come up with some sort of redemption from this mess.
Obviously, I have yet to sew on the button so that the back straps will fasten, but that would be the last logical step. ;)
As always, feel free to use my patterns for yourself or your friends, but don't use them for items you sell! (But if somebody wants to pay you for that mess, I wanna know about it!) :)

Poppies and Spring Phlox
Image by bill barber
Poppies "Spring Phlox" Peonies "Ciliata Purple"
Seen in my set entitled "Spring Phlox"
In my collection entitle "The Garden"
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Phlox (pronounced /flɒks/ or "flocks"; from the Latin for a flame-colored flower, which is from the Greek φλόξ, meaning 'flame'; plural "phlox" or "phloxes") is a genus of 67 species of annual or perennial flowering plants. Some species flower in early spring while others flower in summer into fall. Most species are native to temperate North America but a few species are also from northeastern Asia. They are found growing in diverse habitats from alpine locations to open woodlands and prairies.
Phlox flowers range in color from pale blue to bright red to white. Some species such as Phlox glaberrima (Smooth Phlox) grow to 1.5 m tall, while others, such as Phlox stolonifera (Creeping Phlox), form low mats only a few centimetres in height.
The foliage of Phlox is sometimes eaten by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Dot Moth, Gazoryctra wielgusi, Hummingbird Hawk-moth and Schinia indiana (which feeds exclusively on P. pilosa). Phlox species are also a popular food source for groundhogs, rabbits and deer. The flowers, when fertilized, typically produce one relatively large seed.
Several species of phlox are commonly cultivated in gardens. Most cultivated phlox, with the notable exception of Drummond phlox, are perennial. Phlox cultivars are available in shades of white, purple, blue, pink, and yellow. Most are best grown in well-drained soil, exposed to partial shade to partial sun. Phlox are valued in the garden for their ability to attract butterflies.
From my set entitled "Peonies"
In my collection entitled "The Garden"
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The peony or paeony (Paeonia) is the only genus in the flowering plant family Paeoniaceae. They are native to Asia, southern Europe and western North America.
Most are herbaceous perennial plants 0.5–1.5 metres tall, but some are woody shrubs up to 1.5–3 metres tall. They have compound, deeply lobed leaves, and large, often fragrant flowers, ranging from red to white or yellow, in late spring and early summer. In the past, the peonies were often classified in the family Ranunculaceae, alongside Hellebores and Anemones.
The peony is named after Paeon or Paean, a student of Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine and healing. Asclepius became jealous of his pupil; Zeus saved Paeon from the wrath of Asclepius by turning him into the peony flower
The peony is among the longest-used flowers in ornamental culture and is one of the smallest living creature national emblems in China. Along with the plum blossom, it is a traditional floral symbol of China, where it is called 牡丹 (mǔ dān). It is also known as 富贵花 (fuguihua) "flower of riches and honour", and is used symbolically in Chinese art.[2] In 1903, the Qing Dynasty declared the peony as the national flower. Currently, the Republic of China on Taiwan designates the plum blossom as the national flower, while the People's Republic of China has no legally designated national flower. In 1994, the peony was proposed as the national flower after a nationwide poll, but the National People's Congress failed to ratify the selection. In 2003, another selection process has begun, but to date, no choice has been made.
The famous ancient Chinese city Luoyang has a reputation as a cultivation centre for the peonies. Throughout Chinese history, peonies in Luoyang are often said to be the finest in the country. Dozens of peony exhibitions and shows are still held there annually.
In Japan, Paeonia lactiflora used to be called ebisugusuri ("foreign medicine"). In kampo (the Japanese adaptation of Chinese medicine), its root was used as a treatment for convulsions. It is also cultivated as a garden plant. In Japan Paeonia suffruticosa is called the "The King of flowers" and Paeonia lactiflora is called the "prime minister of flowers".
Pronunciation of 牡丹 (peony) in Japan is "botan". Before the Meiji period, meat taken from quadrupeds was seldom consumed in Japan due to Buddhism. Thus in cases where such meat was handled, it was paraphrased using the names of flowers. The term botan was used (and is still used) to paraphrase wild boar meat. This comes from the flowery resemblance of the sliced meat when spread over a dish. Another example is sakura (cherry blossoms) which stands for horsemeat.
In 1957, the Indiana General Assembly passed a law to make the peony the state flower of Indiana, a title which it holds to this day. It replaced the zinnia, which had been the state flower since 1931.
Mischievous nymphs were said to hide in the petals of the Peony thus causing this magnificent flower to be given the meaning of Shame or Bashfulness in the Language of Flowers. It was named after Pæon, a physician to the gods, who obtained the plant on Mount Olympus from the mother of Apollo. Once planted the Peony likes to be left alone and punishes those who try to move it by not flowering again for several years. Once established, however, it produces splendid blooms each year for decades (Taken from The Language of Flowers, edited by Sheila Pickles, 1990).
Peonies are also extensively grown as ornamental plants for their very large, often scented flowers.
Peonies tend to attract ants to the flower buds. This is due to the nectar that forms on the outside of the flower buds.
Peonies are a common subject in tattoos, often used along with koi-fish.
From my set entitled "Poppies"
In my collection entitled "The Garden"
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A poppy is any of a number of showy flowers, typically with one per stem, belonging to the poppy family. They include a number of attractive wildflower species with showy flowers found growing singularly or in large groups; many species are also grown in gardens. Those that are grown in gardens include large plants used in a mixed herbaceous border and small plants that are grown in rock or alpine gardens.
The flower color of poppy species include: white, pink, yellow, orange, red and blue; some have dark center markings. The species that have been cultivated for many years also include many other colors ranging from dark solid colors to soft pastel shades. The center of the flower has a whorl of stamens surrounded by a cup- or bowl-shaped collection of four to six petals. Prior to blooming, the petals are crumpled in bud, and as blooming finishes, the petals often lie flat before falling away.
Poppies have long been used as a symbol of both sleep and death: sleep because of the opium extracted from them, and death because of their (commonly) blood-red color. In Greco-Roman myths, poppies were used as offerings to the dead. Poppies are used as emblems on tombstones to symbolize eternal sleep. This aspect was used, fictionally, in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz to create magical poppy fields, dangerous because they caused those who passed through them to sleep forever.
A second meaning for the depiction and use of poppies in Greco-Roman myths is the symbolism of the bright scarlet colour as signifying the promise of resurrection after death.
The poppy of wartime remembrance is the red corn poppy, Papaver rhoeas. This poppy is a common weed in Europe and is found in many locations, including Flanders Fields. This is because the corn poppy was one of the only plants that grew on the battlefield. It thrives in disturbed soil, which was abundant on the battlefield due to intensive shelling. During the few weeks the plant blossomed, the battlefield was coloured blood red, not just from the red flower that grew in great numbers but also from the actual blood of the dead soldiers that lay scattered and untended to on the otherwise barren battlegrounds.
Thus the plant became a symbol for the dead World War I soldiers. In many Commonwealth countries and in the United States, artificial, paper or plastic versions of this poppy are worn to commemorate the sacrifice of veterans and civilians in World War I and other wars, during the weeks preceding Remembrance Day on November 11. It has been adopted as a symbol by The Royal British Legion in their Poppy Appeal.
In North America, poppies are known as Clown Shoes by the Royal Canadian Legion, who sell them each fall prior to Remembrance Day. The design of the Canadian poppy has changed recently. Formerly the poppy was red plastic with a felt lining with a green centre held on by a pin. The green was to represent the green fields of France. In 2002 the design was changed with some small controversy to a black centre. This is to reflect the actual colour of the French poppy.
In New Zealand and Australia, paper poppies are widely distributed by the Returned Services Association leading up to ANZAC day (April 25th).
The golden poppy, Eschscholzia californica, is the state flower of California.
Poppy is widely consumed in many parts of Central and Eastern Europe. The sugared, milled mature seeds are eaten with pasta, or they are boiled with milk and used as filling or topping on various kinds of sweet pastry.
Poppy seeds are widely used in Bengali cuisine, Oriya cuisine, German cuisine, Malabar Cuisine (Northern Kerala) and the Cuisine of Austria (Papaver somniferum).
In Mexico, Grupo Modelo, the makers of Corona beer, until the 1960s used red poppy flowers in its advertising, where almost any image it used had poppy flowers somewhere in the image.
Although the drug opium is produced by "milking" latex from the unripe fruits ("seed pods") rather than from the seeds, all parts of the plant can contain or carry the opium alkaloids, especially morphine and codeine. This means that eating foods (e.g., muffins) that contain poppy seeds can result in a false positive for opiates in a drug test.
This was considered "confirmed" by the presenters of the television program MythBusters. One participant, Adam Savage, who ate an entire loaf of poppy seed cake, tested positive for opiates just half an hour later. A second participant, Jamie Hyneman, who ate three poppy seed bagels, first tested positive two hours after eating. Both tested positive for the remainder of the day, but were clean eighteen hours later. The show Brainiac: Science Abuse also did experiments where a priest ate several poppy seed bagels and gave a sample, which also resulted in a false positive.
The results of this experiment are inconclusive, because a test was used with an opiate cutoff level of 300 ng/mL instead of the current SAMHSA recommended cutoff level used in the NIDA 5 test, which was raised from 300 ng/mL to 2,000 ng/mL in 1998 in order to avoid false positives from poppy seeds. However, according to an article published in the Medical Science Law Journal, after ingesting "a curry meal or two containing various amounts of washed seeds" where total morphine levels were in the range 58.4 to 62.2 µg/g seeds, the urinary morphine levels were found to range as high as 1.27 µg/mL (1,270 ng/mL) urine . Another article in the Journal of Forensic Science reports that concentration of morphine in some batches of seeds may be as high as 251 µg/g.[5] In both studies codeine was also present in the seeds in smaller concentrations. Therefore it is possible to cross the current standard 2,000 ng/mL limit of detection, depending on seed potency and quantity ingested. Some toxicology labs still continue to use a cutoff level of 300 ng/mL.
The sale of poppy seeds from Papaver somniferum is banned in Singapore due to the morphine content. Poppy seeds are also banned in Saudi Arabia due to various religious and drug control reasons.
What may be the most famous literary use of the poppy occurs both in L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and in MGM's classic 1939 film based on the novel.
In the novel, while on their way to the Emerald City, Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion walk through a field of poppies, and the opium from the flowers puts both Dorothy and the Lion to sleep. The Scarecrow and the Tin Man, not being made of flesh and blood, are unaffected. They carry Dorothy to safety and place her on the ground beyond the poppy field. While they are considering how to help the Lion, a field mouse runs in front of them, fleeing a cougar. The Tin Man beheads the cougar with his axe, and the field mouse pledges her eternal gratitude. Being the Queen of the Field Mice, she gathers all her subjects together. The Tin Man cuts down several trees, and builds a wagon. The Lion is pushed onto it, and the mice pull the wagon safely out of the poppy field.
In the 1939 film, the sequence is considerably altered. The poppy field is conjured up by the Wicked Witch of the West, and it appears directly in front of the Emerald City, preventing the four travelers from reaching it. As in the novel, Dorothy and the Cowardly Lion fall asleep, but in a direct reversal of the book, the Scarecrow and the Tin Man are unable to carry Dorothy. Glinda, who has been watching over them, conjures up a snowfall which kills the poppies and enables Dorothy and the Lion to awaken. Unfortunately, the Tin Man has been weeping in despair, and the combination of his tears and the wet snow has caused him to rust. After he is oiled by Dorothy, the four skip happily toward the Emerald City.
In Baum's other Oz books, Oz's ruler, Princess Ozma, is often shown wearing poppies in her hair as decoration.
Poppies stand as a prominent feature of In Flanders Fields, one of the most frequently quoted English-language poems composed by front-line personnel during the First World War. It was written by John McCrae, a doctor serving in the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps, and appeared for the first time in Punch magazine on December 8, 1915.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders Fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders Fields.
– John McCrae
In Persian literature, red poppies, especially red corn poppy flowers, are considered the flower of love. They are often called the eternal lover flower.

Roche Breast-Cancer Drug Shows Late-Stage Trial Success
ZURICH— Roche Holding AG Friday reported positive results from a late-stage study that compared its experimental breast cancer drug trastuzumab emtansine to a rival product from GlaxoSmithKline PLC, paving the way to file the potential blockbuster drug for regulatory approval in Europe and the U.S. later this year.
The Basel-based drug maker said women whose breast cancer had spread despite earlier treatment lived longer without their disease getting worse when treated with Roche's trastuzumab emtansine, or T-DM1, compared with those who received Glaxo's Tykerb plus chemotherapy.
The study involved 991 women previously treated with another Roche drug Herceptin plus chemotherapy, whose cancer spread after this initial treatment.
"We believe this suggests that the observed benefit is likely to be a meaningful one and that at least a trend toward a survival improvement is likely," Deutsche Bank analysts said in a note to investors. Roche said data to show if the drug helps prolonging patients life wasn't available yet.
T-DM1 is an antibody drug which delivers the chemotherapy agent directly inside cancer cells, with the aim of causing fewer side effects. Roche said final results for overall survival aren't yet complete.
Analysts said the trial results, which were expected after a similarly good outcome of intermediate tests, are a sign that the company's strategy to improve standard care through innovative drug discovery is paying off. But they noted that, until the drug proves to work also as first-line treatment, market potential is limited.
"These results enable Roche to register the drug, but as a second-line treatment, the market opportunity is limited," said Andrew Weiss, an analyst in Zurich with Vontobel. "If the second set of data shows it also works as a first-line treatment, then that will open up the market," Weiss said, adding the drug carries a sales potential of 1.7 billion Swiss francs ($1.8 billion) if marketed globally. Another ongoing late-stage study, dubbed MARIANNE, is testing if T-DM1 also works on patients who weren't previously treated with established drugs. This trial's results are expected in 2014.
"We have significantly increased confidence that the front-line trial…will report positively," analysts at Deutsche Bank said, adding that annual sales could reach more than $1.5 billion if the drug was approved for this use.
Mr. Weiss, who has a buy rating on Roche, also said that T-DM1 results, coupled with "stellar" data on experimental compound pertuzumab can help Roche alleviate competitive pressure on its blockbuster breast cancer drug Herceptin. He said Roche is likely to present detailed results at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual ASCO meeting in June.
Roche is developing T-DM1 with ImmunoGen Inc.
ImmunoGen's Chief Executive Daniel M. Junius said in an interview that the top-line results from Roche were symbolically significant because it validated the company's antibody technology.
He also said first-line study data on TDM-1 isn't expected until late 2013 into 2014, but a second-line application is important, representing the most immediate opportunity to make the drug available to patients. He said the current second-line treatment has a limited patient population and hasn't been very successful.

Charter day to come to campus
Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Charter Day is a day meant to commemorate the year of it's founding by bringing together our community.
It is a time to reflect and think about the history of the University and the state of New Jersey granting charter to Seton Hall, according to the SHU's website.
Bernadette McVey, executive academic assistant to the Provost and executive Vice President for Seton Hall takes part in preparing the event.
"Charter Day celebrates Seton Hall's commitment to moral education for more than 150 years and continues to be our mission in the 21st century," said McVey. "[It] offers our community an opportunity to reflect on the University's great history and to renew our commitment to that purpose and mission."
The event is planned by the Provost and honors members of the community who show distinguished commitment to service, the Catholic mission and the University's goals by giving them the McQuaid Medal.
"The President appoints a committee to make recommendations to him for recipients of the McQuaid Medal," said McVey.
"The committee welcomes nominations of eligible candidates by members of the University community. In consultation with the Executive Cabinet, the President selects the awardees."
To determine their recommendations, the committee looks at nominee's distinguished service, commitment to the Catholic mission and how long they have been employed at Seton Hall.
"McQuaid Medalists continue to be highly regarded members of the Seton Hall community who have served beyond measure with selfless dedication and high distinction," said McVey.
This year's recipients include Associate Professor of English and Catholic Studies Dr. Nancy Enright, Professor of Law Dr. Paula A. Franzese and Bookkeeper Ruthie McClain. Student leader scholars, who engage in service and still attend Seton Hall, are also recognized for their commitment to Seton Hall's mission. Associate Professor Dr. Thomas Rzeznik, within the department of history will be the keynote speaker.
The event is today at 3 p.m. in Jubilee Hall. All students and faculty are encouraged to attend.

Giving Children in VA the Two-Parent Advantage
Free mediation sessions and co-parenting classes are being offered to parents who have open cases with the Department of Child Support Enforcement. The goal of this program is to give children the benefit of having both parents involved in their lives.
Mediation services will give parents the opportunity to sit with an impartial neutral to develop plans for spending time with the child(ren). Even tricky topics such as how time with the child(ren) will be divided over the holidays can be tackled.
Co-parenting classes will give parents information and tools to effectively communicate with each other and share parenting responsibilities. Funding for this program is made available through the Department of Social Services' Access and Visitation grant program.
To get access to the mediation program, both parents need to be willing to mediate a parenting plan. Also, current contact information for both parents needs to be available.

Landlord Tenant Mediation
The Virginia Association for Community Conflict Resolution's 30-second video on landlord tenant mediation encourages the use of mediation to settle landlord tenant disputes.

What Our Patients Are Saying
Each procedure done by Dr. Patel has been an improvement. Very pleased.
Dr. Patel has been a great Doctor for me. When I was referred to after discussion we decided to do injections in my back. The first two did not work so did two more in a different section of my back. These injections worked great. I'm now able to sleep at night and the numbness in my foot is almost gone. The tingling in my foot & leg is gone and I am very happy about that. I am extremely happy that Dr. Patel is my Doctor. She has been a good listener when I tell her where I hurt and talks to me about what she feels should be done. The final decision is always mine.
On Nov. 22, 2017, I had a spinal injection in my lower back and it was an instant miracle in my life! For the first time in 4 intolerable months of pain, I was finally pain free, and I am now getting a second chance to live again! I am so grateful to Dr. Patel for my new life, and to God for guiding me to her! Thank you so very much Dr. Patel – you are God's gift to me, thank you for being so awesome at what you do.
Dr. Patel is one of the best Doctors I have ever had. She is pretty good at her job. She makes it plain and simple. She is also very thoughtful. I was very glad to have met her. In other words she is pretty good.
The surgery done by Dr. S. Patel (Actually injections) & the mild medications she has prescribed has surely made my lower back -hip-leg less painful. I have complete confidence in her medical judgement & advice. She will administer second injection in June.
Dr. Patel is a very good Pain Management Doctor. She is one of my favorite doctors.
Dr. Patel has been great at my pain relief. She doesn't force me to take any meds I don't want, or injections. She will give me the injection I want when I need it. Great friendly Doctor.
Thank you for the opportunity to express how pleased I am with the excellent care of Stacy A. Bacon, M.D. I have confidence in her ability to care for me as she successfully partially replaced a broken hip 10 years ago, 2007. I also want to compliment Cheryl who set up the appointment. She represents Advanced Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine very well.
It's been over 8 years since Dr. Bacon replaced by right ankle. I still can't thank her enough for the years of pain free walking I have done since! And I'm still going strong! I had numerous breaks in my ankle due an auto accident, repaired/set by a different doctor, after multiple surgery's, I was still limping, in great pain every day. Then I found Dr. Bacon, now, no more pain, NONE, and no more limping after this ankle replacement. I rave about her constantly and would recommend her to anyone who has a foot or ankle issue
I had been in so much pain with my back for years. It got so bad that I knew I had to do something. I went to Dr Mohr for help. I was so afraid to have spine surgery as I had heard so many horror stories. He and his staff were very informative. I was amazed at the new technology in spinal surgery. December 8, 2016 I had rods and pins put in my back. I am so happy I did now. I am healing really fast and the pain is going away as my body heals. Thank you Dr Mohr for you expertise and sensitive nature. You were understanding about my fear and helped assure me so I could receive the help I needed. You are an excellent Doctor.

We all want our jewelry to have that glow we were attracted to when we first purchased it. Unfortunately, layers of dirt and grime form on these jewelries because of the body oils, dust and other impurities they have come in contact with over time. More often than not, most of us discard our jewelry when it becomes dirty or green. This is a bad habit!
The QWT team presents to you a step-by-step guide on how to clean your gold and silver jewelries at little or no cost.
Gold jewelry can be cleaned using baking soda, vinegar or soap. Any of these methods listed below would give your gold jewelry the sparkle that it lacks.
– Mix some baking soda with water to form a paste.
– Dip your gold jewelry in it and use an old toothbrush to work out the dirt.
– Rinse in cool water and dry with clean cloth.
– Drop your gold jewelry in a cup of vinegar for about 15-20 minutes.
– Remove it from the vinegar then use an old toothbrush to scrub.
– Rinse in cool water and dab with a soft piece of cloth.
– Place your jewelry in a soap and water solution.
– Scrub it with a old toothbrush with soft bristles.
– Dab it dry with cotton wool.
We all have some silver jewelry tangled and blackened in a corner of our room. This is quite sad because silver is a beautiful piece of jewel, sometimes expensive and more preferable to gold. Well, I have just one method of cleaning your silver that would blow your mind. Here it goes:
- Vinegar
- Baking soda
- Aluminum foil
- A bowl
- Salt (Sodium Chloride)
- Boiling water
- A soft piece of cloth
- Boil some water, the amount of water you boil depends on the number of jewelry you want to clean.
- Line your bowl with the aluminum foil.
- Put the salt, baking soda and vinegar in the bowl.
- Pour the hot water in, be sure to mix everything properly.
- Place your silver jewelry in the solution and wait for about 10-15 minutes.
- During this period, you can turn each jewelry in order to get all sides in contact with the aluminum foil.
- Remove your silver and clean with a soft cloth.
- Your silver becomes shiny and new!
This process is called ion exchange. Salt contains sodium chloride, vinegar contains acetic acid and baking soda contains sodium bicarbonate and all these work together in removing the dirt in silver by transferring to the aluminum foil.
That's it folks! Easy, cheap and simple. You have just learnt how to clean your jewelry, give it a try and drop your comments below.

Creating a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement is an important step in protecting assets. When a couple has a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement in place, it may prevent lengthy litigation if they divorce.
Attorney Lynn A. Cohen has significant experience drafting prenuptial and postnuptial agreements in Illinois. She can assist you with marital agreements, ensuring your rights are protected. Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are legal contracts that require each party to provide a full and fair disclosure of assets. When appropriate, Ms. Cohen works with financial experts, investigators or appraisers to locate hidden assets or value assets.
Reasons For Creating Marital Agreements
Regardless of your income or net worth, marital agreements can protect your interests. Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements may be used for reasons such as:
- Protecting the assets each individual brings to the marriage
- Determining each individual's rights to a share of the marital assets or to the value of those assets
- Preserving assets for children from previous relationships
- Protecting one spouse from the debts and liabilities of the other spouse
- Specifying the terms of spousal support
Postnuptial agreements are created after a couple is married. If one spouse acquires new assets during the marriage, he or she may want to protect them with a postnuptial agreement.
